We were treated to another great weekend of boxing last weekend. Adamek and Marquez both delivered stellar performances while having rough starts.

They taught us several lessons in their fights as their opposition really brought the best out of them.

First off Banks shouldn’t have been in the ring with Adamek. I mean he only had 20 fights going in against tame opposition. I think Manny has too much confidence with his young fighters today and this is getting them knocked off hard. First Andy Lee now Banks.

I’m not taking anything away from Adamek either. Banks physical gifts allowed him to hurt Adamek early and be in the fight for five rounds.

Admek showed what kind of seasoned pro he is by making the adjustments necessary to brutally defeat the young and strong Banks.

Adamek is a promoters and networks dream. He can fight, has a granite chin, fights with excitement- heart, and has a rabid following that supports him and wants more afterwords.

What more can anyone ask? Adamek keeps getting better. That’s scary! He’s a throw back fighter in this sense and I think that’s a VERY fair assessment.

Marquez had a very tough first half of the fight against the ultra aggressive Juan Diaz.

Diaz’s blitzkrieg style didn’t allow Marquez to counter punch as effectively as he liked early on. How the hell could he have against the pace and punches Juan threw at him. Marquez did it by putting money in the bank in the way of his body attack early.

Marquez taught us what patience can do for a fighter. Patience and the ability to make adjustments on the fly allowed Marquez to brutally turn the fight around until he stretched Diaz for good.

What a true Mexican warrior and pro! Again we out to be fucking damn glad we had the opportunity to watch a awesome old school pro in Marquez perform!

He’s another fighter to study and will be studied for years to come.

Juan’s ability to fight brilliantly late in his career comes from the skills nacho taught him and the experience he has gained over the years. Shunt out from big fights early in his career he kept learning, working, and fighting on. What we now see in Marquez is borned form those hungry and enraged days of not getting his shot.

What a great weekend of fights and lessons we were taught from a dying breed of fighters.
